Ben Pattison moved second behind Sebastian Coe on the British men’s 800m all-time list as Monaco hosted the penultimate Diamond League meeting before the Paris Olympics.

World bronze medallist Pattison, 22, ran a personal best of one minute 42.27 seconds for fifth place in a high-quality race.

It moved him above Steve Cram and leaves Coe – who ran a then-world record 1:41.73 in 1981 – as the only British man to run the two-lap event faster.

Dina Asher-Smith finished third in the women’s 100m in 10.99 seconds, as training partner Julien Alfred, of St Lucia, took victory in 10.85secs from American Tamari Davis.

Britain’s world indoor champion Molly Caudery cleared 4.83m for third in the women’s pole vault, won by Australia’s world champion Nina Kennedy with a best of 4.88m.

Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen produced a statement performance in the men’s 1500m, clocking a European record 3:26.73 as he builds towards his Olympic title defence and a showdown with world champion Josh Kerr.

Neil Gourley, who will contest that event at Paris 2024 alongside fellow Britons Kerr and George Mills, was fifth in a season’s best 3:30.65 and Elliot Giles finished 13th (3:40.72).

Australian Jessica Hull set a women’s world record in the rarely run 2,000m, clocking a sensational 5:19.70 just five days after she finished runner-up behind Faith Kipyegon’s record-breaking 1500m run in Paris.

Melissa Courtney-Bryant, who missed out on an Olympic place, was second in a British record 5:26.08, while in the women’s 5,000m Hannah Nuttall was 14th in 15:37.21.

The final Diamond League meeting before the Paris 2024 Games takes place in London on Saturday, 20 July.
